Q

What are structural isomers?

A

Structural isomers have the same molecular formula but different structural formula

17
Q

What are the types of reactions?

A

Addition
Substitution
Elimination

18
Q

What is an addition reaction?

A

2 reactants join together to form 1 product; usually a double bond turned into 2 single bonds

19
Q

What is a substitution reaction?

A

An atom or group of atoms is replaced by another atom or group of atoms. There are the same number of products and reactants

20
Q

What is an elimination reaction?

A

The removal of a small molecule from a larger molecule.1 reactant molecule forms 2 products. A single bond usually is turned to a double bond

21
Q

What does a curly arrow represent?

A

2 electrons moving

22
Q

What is homolyitc fission?

A

Each of the bonded atoms take one of the shared pair of electrons
An atom or groups of atoms with an unpaired electron is called a radical

23
Q

What is heterolytic fission?

A

One of the bonded atoms take both electrons from the bond. The atom that takes both electrons becomes the negative ion and the other becomes a positive ion
